K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129f sent off...... yayyyy
YAY! Congrats! I can't wait to know how it feels to finally send the I29 application! lol Just waiting on Marlon and his divorce decree, looks like we will file in January. Here's keeping my fingers crossed for you for a speedy approval and smooth journey! :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI29 form expires 12/31/06...

You should proceed with preparing the current form as provided by USCIS. When you are ready to file, go to the USCIS web site and download the current form. Generally, when they have a new form coming out they issue a statement about when the old form will no longer be accepted. The government is pretty slow about issuing statements and it is unusual to have an expiration date on a form unless they are preparing a new form. You should check the What's New section on their web site for updates and plans for new forms. That is usually where they will state the information.

If you are worried about additional delays because of the expiration date, then file your application before the end of the year. Tell Marlon to get his butt in gear.


LOL Marlon's butt has been in gear since we decided to do this. The problem is that he had sent an inquiry to Birmingham, England on how to obtain his divorce decree and he did not receive a response until 3 weeks later! Partly because the mail system sucks in Jamaica. I spoke with him a couple of days ago and he was going to send a fee this week to obtain it. He had already got his police records like a month ago. Now I found out that there is a No Impediment to Marriage form he must obtain as well. So, based on the crappy mail system etc, we will more than likely file in January.

Thanks again to ALL of your responses and good luck on your journies!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI29 form expires 12/31/06...

There may not be a new form... The form does not expire on Dec 31, 2006.. the OMB permission for the government agency to collect the information on the forms expires Dec. 31. That permission can be renewed but you still use the old form..


Really? And here I was waiting to fill it out in January! Thank you so much! :D


There may not be a new form... The form does not expire on Dec 31, 2006.. the OMB permission for the government agency to collect the information on the forms expires Dec. 31. That permission can be renewed but you still use the old form..

You keep using the most recent form on the USCIS Website until there is a from that supercedes it.. and then you still might be able to use the old form..


OK, but I doubt the employees at USCIS have any idea about OMB permission! The form has an expiration date of Dec 31, 2006. In the past, if expired forms for K1 were submitted, the petition was rejected. I have seen that here in past VJ posts. I'd suggest that "FutureMrs" get the newest forms after Jan 1, 2007 and proceed with the process.


You have a good point there. More than likely I will have to wait until January because I still haven't received some information from Marlon. Thanks again for all of your help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI29 form expires 12/31/06...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI29 form expires 12/31/06...
I was just curious about what to do in regards to filing the I29 petition. The form says it expires the end of this month. I am hoping to file right after New Years. So my question is how long does it usually take for the new form to materialize?

Thanks!
Dwarf_OgressFemale02006-12-15 11:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAPPROVED!

How come they only sent you 3 emails, I got 8, oops I hope you don't feel robbed now. ;)

Pfft, I'd settle for 0.5 as long as the word "approval" and not "request for further evidence" was in it! :lol:

I am so excited for you that I too want to scream!

:lol: Awww, you're too cute! :lol: Just give my parents and parrot advanced notice so you don't scare the living bejeebers outta them like I did! :lol:



Don't worry, I'll call ahead :lol:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 paperwork question...
Thanks again! I am so glad that this website exists because I can ask people questions!
Dwarf_OgressFemale02006-12-21 14:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 paperwork question...

You should definitely list his son's name on your I-129F application.

You say in your post that you won't be filing for his son to join him until later. The K-2 Visa must be issued within 1 year of the K-1 Visa. That means that if the K-1 Visa is issued Jan 1, 2007, the K-2 Visa must be issued by Jan. 1, 2008. That means the Visa must be in hand, not just applied for by that time.

I received my K-1 Visa on June 10, 2004. I started the K-2 Visa process for my daughter in early 2005, and her K-2 Visa was issued May 26, 2005. I obtained her K-2 Visa within 2 weeks of my K-1 Visa's one-year anniversary.

You will want to allow plenty of time for processing of the K-2 Visa because, like I said previously, the K-2 Visa must be issued, not just in the process.

Good luck.


Thanks to everyone's responses! I will be sure to let Marlon know. Another question, will I need to submit a copy of his son's birth certificate with our I29 petition?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 paperwork question...
Ok,
Marlon has a 5 year old son who lives in England. Do we need to put his information on the initial paperwork? We are not going to file for him to join us until much later. Another message board advised me not to include his son at this time.

Advice please and thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs there an address list of agencies, especially MerryDating?

The 129f requests the location of the service my fiance and I met through. I met my fiance through the MerryDating site.
How do I find their location?
Thanks,
George


I would assume that there is a way to get the information that you need. Here is the link to that site http://www.merrydating.com/

I am just mentioning the web address of the site me and my fiance met on ie. www.flirtbox.com

I will be submitting an extra sheet of paper for the explanation.

Hope thism helps and good luck on your journey!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling buddies

I am *hoping* to be filing in March this year. Just waiting for the details of my divorce to be finalized. Wish me luck and if anyone will be filing a little later like me, I'd love a buddy to share the stress with! I'm the USC and my fiance is from the UK.


A filing buddy would be a great idea! Someone to vent with etc! Me and my fiance will be filing next week! We had to wait so long to get his divorce decree in the mail! So here's hoping to a smooth and quick process for ALL!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-29F filing questions...
Ok,
I have a couple of questions for submitting my I29 package:

1.) How many passport photos do Marlon and I have to submit, it says 1 on the guides but what shall I do with the extras?

2.) There is an example of the Fiance letter of intent, can I just use that format or can I be creative?

That's it for the moment, I am sure I will have more:)

Thanks again for all the help and support this website offers!

OH YEAH! I almost forgot to mention that I too get the old expiration of the I29 form, what gives?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow you met
I included an additional sheet explaining how we met, the fact that I paid for nothing while I was there as he accommodated me, and the reason why I have been unable to visit him again do to the passing of my mother in October and I am in my last semester at ASU. Hopefully it worked, now I am waiting for my NOA1.


Good luck to all of you!

Thank you! It is nice to know of people going through the same thing! Hopefully he will get a chance to come up and visit while we wait.


Hang in there! I too will be filing for the K1 Visa in the next couple of weeks. It is hard to be apart but as long as the communication stays open by any media and remain focused on the happiness that awaits you, you will be fine! My fiance lives in Jamaica and last time I saw him was September and I won't be seeing him until he comes to Arizona. Good luck and may you have a speedy approval!
